Daggerheart is remarkable in that not only does it list RPGs which influenced it, but it also calls them out in some more detail. Which RPGs have done before, but usually that only happened in DM's guide-type supplements, if at all.(Also good god the 1990s-ness of that list, a window into another world! I love the "of course" on Vaclav Havel, only in the 1990s baayyybeeeee!)</blockquote>
